FastStart is a tiny bundle consisting of an empty QlikView application with a couple of useful subroutines packed with empty configuration .xls file and portable QViewer for inspecting resident tables. I made it for myself for the cases when I need to quickly create a new app from scratch but you're welcome to download and use it. It was made suitable for rapid debugging and dealing with large datasets.

Added Partial Load tab -- calls LoadVars so that variables can be updated without full reload (by simply pressing Ctrl + Shift + R), also can hold additional script commands for execution during Partial Reload which is convenient for modifying data model;

Default tab Main renamed to Variables -- intended for setting up variables and runtime parameters;

Added Main tab -- blank tab, here we start manipulating with data.

Two additional folders

Config -- contains config.xlsx

Tools -- contains QViewer.exe

I intentionally tried to keep it minimalist and not overload it with pre-built stuff like UI layout framework, calendar scripts, predefined color variables, etc. Although, external configuration file for storing variables and subroutine for inspecting resident tables -- these two features I use in almost every application.
